1,20,80,60,40,20 Design and safety guidelinesLoad carrying capacity and rating life > 1,0 The size of the guidance unit is determined by the load carrying capacity of the individual elements. The load carrying capacity is described in terms of the basic dynamic load rating C and the basic static load rating C > (dimension tables). For applications with temperatures in excess of +120 C, factors must be used to reflect reductions in the basic load ratings. Please ask for further information. > KHV k Basic rating life > 00,20,40,60,81,21,0 The basic rating life is determined using the following...

Static load safety factor Basic static moment rating M > 0x The static load safety factor S > indicates the security with regard to permissible permanent deformation in the bearing without affecting the guidance accuracy and smooth running of the bearing. It can be determined using the following formula:If high demands are placed on accuracy and smoothness of running, the static load safety factor should not be less than S The moments for rolling elements in an O arrangement can be determined using the following formulae: a > k = a > i + B C S ------= > > M = k +a ⋅ W P > > M k M 0x a k mmCage...

Preload The guidance systems must be preloaded (Table 1). Preload: ■ increases the rigidity and guidance accuracy ■ reduces the high loads on the rolling elements at the ends ofthe cage under moment load (about the Z and Y axes). Thistherefore increases the moment load carrying capacity ofthe guidance system.However, preload also influences the displacement resistance and the operating life of cage guidance systems. The guideways can be fixed through the adjacent construction or through the guideways. Depending on the fixing method used, the preload is set as follows: > d Table 1 Preload class...

Location of guideways The guideways have counterbored fixing holes as standard. Thishole type can be used in combination with insert nuts ESM (Figure 5).Guideways with the standard fixing hole can be screw mounted to the adjacent construction (Figure 6).In combination with the insert nuts ESM, the standard fixing hole can be used as a threaded hole (Figure 7). Fitting of insert nuts: see page 8.In order to avoid location defects, the holes in the adjacent construction must be carefully deburred.The counterbores of the guideway fixing holes have sharp edges. Risk of injury!For high loads, the...

Insert nuts ESM Insert nuts ESM are accessories for location of guideways ( > 156 227 Accessories , page 13). By means of these nuts, this hole type can be used as a threaded hole. The nuts must be ordered separately and are included loose with the delivery.The nuts must be fixed by adhesive in the counterbores of the fixing holes. Fitting of insert nuts ESM ■ Degrease the counterbores in the guideway and the insert nuts ESM using conventional cleaning agents (Figure 8, ).

Design of bearing arrangements The design of a bearing arrangement with minature linear guidance guidance systems is essentially determined by the requirements for: ■ accuracy ■ rigidity > H ■ load carrying capacity.This has a direct influence on the adjacent construction and primarily concerns: ■ the geometrical and positional accuracy of the mounting surfaces > AAA ■ the location of the guidance elements > ttttt tt ■ the sealing of the bearing arrangement. Ensure that the adjacent construction has adequate strength VDI guideline 2230.The end pieces should not be used to limit the stroke. Thiscan...
